Why Everyone is Looking For Yellow-Capped Cokes

Coca-Cola fans are on the hunt for 2-liter bottles specifically with yellow caps, and they may be a bit hard to find. It's not a national contest but has a deeper significance this time of year.

What do the yellow caps mean?

The yellow caps on a limited number of Coke bottles signify a different ingredient - real cane sugar instead of corn syrup.

Why does this matter?

Many people celebrate lent and the weeks leading up to Passover, Good Friday, and Easter eating only kosher foods and ingredients. According to AI Overview, the caps are stamped with the letters stamped with "O-U-P," the Passover kosher certification symbol of the Orthodox Union.

What if I can't find yellow caps on Coca-Cola?

As we said, it's a limited run and distribution on these sweeter bottles of Coke. If you can't find them in your local grocery store, check to see if they sell Mexican Coke. These are also made with real cane sugar.

Passover lasts through April 20.

Author's note: I checked at the HyVee at 49th and Louise and they didn't have the 2-liter bottles of Coca-Cola on display.
